Welcome to my God Eater 2: Rage Burst FAQ! I've attempted to compile a list of all the various Short Blades available in the game, with some information about their skills, elements, and crafting or upgrade requirements. Hopefully this enables you to invest in equipment that will match how you want to play the game.

Branch just means what you'd have to pick to upgrade something. For example, upgrading a Knife gives you multiple options. If you pick the first, that's 1.1, the second would be 1.2, etc. Since this documents choices, I don't update the number if there is only one option.

Some items can only be crafted, some can only be upgraded, and some have both. If you choose to craft something in the middle of an upgrade tree, you can skip all the money and material costs of the earlier branches, but you will lose the skills those weapons would have provided. Although in some cases, the crafted item will have the previous skill included.

Remember that tickets can be used to craft any materials you may be missing. As most missions reward you with tickets, this is the easiest way to get rarer materials.

Also, you can't craft weapons until you have reached the appropriate rank. So if you are on Rank 4 missions, you can only craft Rank 1-4 weapons.

Skills that contain other skills will have the compound skills in {braces}.

Note

There appear to be multiple pairs of items with the same name that are two distinct items. I noticed Reynard Whiskers, Idol Crescent, and Goddess Feather. If you have some in your inventory but the weapon list isn't registering them, keep scrolling on the material crafting list until you find the one for the other ticket.
